Happy Birthday...almost

Tomorrow is actually my birthday, but I started celebrating today. Linda, my mother-n-law makes this yummy gooey chocolate cake with caramely stuff in it and cool whip with crushed toffee bars on top!!! It's sooooooo good and I wait for it every year on my birthday. It's a big Rains tradition to go out to dinner and then do gifts and cake. We have to have the big number candles and take a picture every year, it's really quite cute! (Mine number candles say 28 this year, by the way).Since Darian (Dennis's brother) and the gang are here in OK now, they got to join in, too! I think it's actually the first time we've all been here to celebrate my birthday, so that's pretty cool. I don't feel 28, most of the time, I feel younger, so I guess that's a good thing. Tomorrow, we will celebrate on my actual birthday with my family, which I haven't done in a while, so that will be fun, too! Thank God for birthdays!! (and for birthday cake!)

Happy Birthday to Carly Baker, today!!

...did you picture me sort of like that dancing frog in the cartoon....w/ the hat and cane?...oh, yeah, you are probably too young to remember it. The frog would only sing and dance for the man....and when he wanted to make money w/ the frog, he just croaked and blinked...ba haaaaa

...anyhooo....you family name give a whole new meaning to RAINing on a parade.....your parades are FUN!!! Is that an oxymoron?

Sorry, I missed you at church...tylenol pm didn't wear off quick enough for me to get out of bed......
